Farmers and l.aborinr mep

Just before adjournment notice was read
from the clerk S desk that q meeting of the
farmers and laboring men would be held in
the house chamber at 1880 o'clock. 1t was
generally understood that the notice eman-
ated tr pm Mr.. Donnelly and that he was max
ing this move IN the hope that he could whip
into line his Wayerlng forces. His defeat on
the annual sessions bill, the TRANSFORMATION of
grain and the text book bill had shown him
that he was losing his influence over the men
who. at the opening of the session, followed
his lead without stopping to ask any ques-
tons. When the hour for the meeting ar
rived there were twenty-six members in
the house by actual count. Mr.. Dom
nelly came in about Sis and engaged in
conversation with Gen. Barrett for half an
hour. AT O'Clock. when it became apparent
that the number present would not make
much of a showing in so large a hall, Mr.
Donnelly asked the members to repair up
stairs to room 16. The invitation was ac-
cepted by the members. who did not appear
to have very clear idea of what was to be
done. Mr.. Reese, who presided, confessed
that he did not know Then Mr.. Donnelly
explained that he had sent the notice to the
clerks desk at the request of the labor repre-
sentatives, who asked that the farmers and
labor men meetsto consider important matters
There was no action taken MeSSrS. Lucas
Clark Lamb, Donnelly, Powers and Olson dis
cussing in q general way matters affecting the
farmers and laboring men. Mr.. Lamb asked
the members present to oppose the bills to
create board of public works IN Mfuneapo-
lis and the amendment to the charter extend
ing the terms of some of the aldermen. MIR
Donnelly made long speech, mostly of q
personal character. He said he was dis
gusted with his legislative experience and
that he would be heard from in 1888. when he
would get after some people until they would

SEIZED TE8E BEER.
Car Load of Lager Captured by q
Constable at Dex Moines, Ra.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb 17.-This morning a
car of beer arrived from st. Louis over the
Wabash for Hurlbut, Hess s. Co., shipped by
the Anheuser Bottling company, of St. Louis.
Constable Pierce got wind OF it, and examin-
ing the county archives discovered that Hurl-
but, Hess & Co. had no permit. Getting his
papers he seized the car, and employed dray
men to haul its contents to StorehouSe. II
seems that c. I'll. Ward, S. FL. Hess and Mr.
Picketts, members of the firm. had pharma-
cists permits, but no permit was issued to
the firm. Mr.. Hurlbut heard of the seizure
at noon, and hunting up ex-Justice
McMartiu. began proceedings 10 repleyin
the beer. He said that Pierce had no
right 10 seize it, as the bill of lading showed
that the beer was consigned 10 G. Fl. Wald
individually, although the cases and barrels
were marked H. II. & Co." In the mean
time Pierce hauled the German vintage away,
leaving the owners to do what they might A
WRIT OF REPLEVIN
was secured under the impression that Pierce
had no warrant when he seized the beer
Armed with the writ McMartin and an officer
proceeded to where the beer was being
stored, and finding drayman unloading sew
eral cases Of beer ordered him to reload on
the authority of the writ. and instructiug him
TO return the beer to the car regardless
of Pierce. The driver obeyed and started.
He had reached the alley between Fourth and
Fifth streets on Court street when Pierce
rushed up, and, boarding the wagon. ordered
the driver to return. Acting under mis- in
structions the driver refused point blank, but
Pierce, whose blood was up, pulled out his
revolver and showing the muzzle under the
nose of the astonisheG deliver, repeated his
order. This time it was obeyed, and followed
by n howling mob the beer was returned,
stored and Constables Potts and Logan showed
it into the cellar under lock and key. Despite
threats and protestations Pierce claimed that
he had warrant all the time and that no
writ Of replevin could be executed on him.

Mr.. DonmeIiy Knocked Out.

A good portion Of the afternoon was taken
up in discussing the Merrill text book bill,
and more than the usual amount of feeling
was developed. The member from Dakota
had charge of the bill-although it was intro
duced By Mr.. Rogers-and he was kept busy
answering questions and replying to speeches.
He was on the floor to speak no less than half
dozen times, and the interest taken by him
was especially marked. He has made no
stronger effort, even in behalf of any of his
grain or railroad bills. Jones, of Redw ood,
developed unexpected powers as
public speaker, and made the
best speech of the controversy in opposition
to the bill. Plowmen. of Otter Tail, sustained
his oratorical reputation and protested
vehemently against imposing such an incubus
upon the down-trodden and long-suffering
people. Powers, MattSon and several others
had something to say also. Donnelly made
stand i'll the last ditch and implored the mem
bers to support the bill. But Mr. ,Mattsons S
motion to indefinitely postpone prevailed by a
vote, of 81 to "a. Just before adjournment
Mr. Donnelly attempted to rescue the bill
from the wreck by moving to except it from
the report of the committee of the whole.
There was quite wrangle, but action was
shut of by u motion to adjourn, no DISPOSE
ton being made of the committees report in
any way.

His Arm IL Nearly Well. He is Not
Drinking and Feels Good.

New YORK. Feb. 17.-John L. Sullivan,
the pugilist. came to this city from Boston
yesterday to have his injured left arm eX-
amined by his physician, DR.. Sayre. He
looked in first-class condition, and seemed
in excellent spirits.

his coat and exposing to view his arm, which
was suspended in black silk sling, land it
doesn't bother me much, either. lean use it
sufficiently to dress without assistance, and
r.Sayre assures me that will be able to go on
the road the 10th Of next month. You can bet
that II get square with the next man that
stands up before me, and l hope it will be
Cardiff. I have heard nothing of either Smith
or Mitchell or their hackers, but am anxious
to fight both of them within two weeks of
each other, but 1 want Mitchell first. I'll
fight either of them for all or nothing, and
for any amount. Pat Sheedy will be here
from Boston Saturday to arrange for the
making of champion belt to be presented to
me by the citizens of this city, Boston and
Philadelphia. The belt will be made of solid
gold, without a bit of silver in it, and will be
set with 19S large diamonds. 1t will be the
finest thing OF the kind in the world. DR..
Sayre will break the plaster of Paris cast on
my arm TOMORROW morning aud make an ex-
animation, after which will return to BoS-
ton on the first train, as my mother is very
ill. / am not drinking drop"

casioned by vicious dogs: Ward, u bill for an
act to authorize the payment of compensa-
ton due road supervisors.
In the council it was quiet day. The
members took a rest on Hughes revenue
bill and considered other matters, none,
however, of which were of more than or
dinary importance. The Mitchell court re-
moval bill was pigeon-holed for a week. and
in the meantime there will be a wild hust-
ling among its friends and enemies
Hughes bill will be taken up again to-mor-
row morning at 10 o'clock, and it will prob
ably keep the council busy all day.
PETITION
was read to-day from a farmers institute at
Redfeld, Sphinx county. asking that towns

sinking artesian wells: that all liquor license
moneys, whether from city or county
should go to the county general fund; that
no county officer should be paid more than
81. per year; that taxes should be pay
able one-half Dec. l, and one-halt June l,
and interest on delinquent taxes should be
reduced 18 per cent. The following bills
were introduced:
BY MIR. Cain, to legalize foreclosure proceed
ings in certain cases; also concerning the ex-
penditure of road and bridge funds. The
following bills were passed: 10 pay chief
clerks for services in organizing legislative
assemblies; allowing mileage to members of

A Scattering Gun.

A delegation of Sauk Centre citizens, con-
sistug of Cashier C. NJ Sprague, of the First
National bank; a. Fl. Petit, brother of Rep
resentative Petit, Lon Kells and Attorney J.
c. Foster, called upon Senator Keller at the
capitol yesterday in relation to the scheme to
divide Stearns county and to establish court
at Sauk Centre. The gentlemen were unani-
nous in the opinion that the matter should
be left entirely to the vote of the people of
Stearns county. Mrs. Keller is now stopping
with the senator at the Merchants.
Mr.. Johnson's bill to appropriate $4,000
for the relief OF the sufferers by hail in Mar
shall county was taken from its place on
general orders and passed. a letter was
read from Marshall county that the necessity
for aid was very great. The weather was in
tensely cold and the people destitute. Some
were living on rabbits and had nothing else
TO eat. They were actually on the point of
starvation, and if this appropriation was not
made Mt once serious results would follow.
Mr.. Prosser did not introduce bill to re-
peal the law prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the Seventh ward, as stated by
q morning paper. The bill itself prohibits
the sale of liquor in the district named. This
was done merely to make the law binding be-
y5nd the possibility of doubt as the point
was raised that the clause in the Prosser bill
-'all other acts are hereby repealed''-Inight
affect the prohibitory clause relating to the
Seventh ward
to cut down the appropriations for the nor
NAL schools at Mankato st. Cloud and Wi
mona, but leaving untouched the appropria-
tions asked for building and repairs and cur
rent expenses, and cutting off all the new ap-
preparations asked for. An estimated aggre-
gate of the money required to sustain the
four normal schools places the figure at
1926. .00O.
During the discussion on the textbook bill
Trawicky. of Winona. called Donnelly to order
when he arose to speak for the sixth time.
Trawicky said: '1'm N getting tired of so much
talk from one man. Give somebody else Il
chance" Donnelly was paralyzed for few
MON ents, and then proceeded after referring

Go For the BIackbirds.

Mr.. Dunno is happy. His gopher and black
bird bill has run the gauntlet. When it was
reached on the house calendar on Wednesday
the bill could not be found by the clerk, and
the next bill was taken up while the search
was being made. This was Potters constitn-
tional convention bill. Mr.. Potter asked
leave to have it postponed, as he was not
ready to press it now. Mr.. Dune, who has
a seat in the rear of the house, understood
that it was scheme to r s4@Sone his bill, and
he hurried down close to me speakers desk
to see about it, He was q trifie excited aud
looked like man at bay defying the attack
of q mob of conspirators. He cooled down
when assured of the actual state of affairs
and his fears were ALA led when his bill was
passed shortly afterwards.

A Gorgeous Display of Tableaux Mt
New Orleans Representing Amer
lean Myths.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-THE Knights of
Momus appeared tonight in gorgeous tab
leaux representing the myths of the new
world. For this purpose Momus had had his
councillors collecting facts from the legends
Of the races of America and their accounts of
the creation of the world. The
Indian of America and the legends
of the Aztecs were literally drawn
upon, and were brought forth so that they
could be readily appreciated by all. First
was the title car, emblematic of the subject
portrayed. 1t consisted of a stone temple of
pyramid shape, covered with the heads Of
Maya diviuities. In golden letters on the
front of the car were the words, myths of
the New World" The subjects portrayed on
the other cars were as follows:
No. 2-Manitou, the great spirit, the god of
peace of the North American Indians.
No. 3-The happy hunting grounds.
No. 4-Megissogwon, the evil spirit whom
Hiawatha slew.
No. 5-The south winds.
No. 6-Verochoa, creator of the world, ac-
cordlng to Peruvian traditions.
No. 1.-THE coming of Montezuma, the Aztec
ruler
No. s-The departure of Quetzacoatl, the
Aztec Jupiter.
No. 9-Bacab, the four gods of Yucatan;
Nair. god of the East; Mulue, god of the
North; TX, god of the West, and Canac, god of
the South.
No. 10-Michabo. the great white hare.
No. 1.-THE temple of the sun in Peru.
No. 12-Cupay, the Peruvian underworld,
or purgatory.
No. 13-The Aztec heaven.
No. 14-Hai akin, the god of storms.
No. l5-The fountain of youth.
No. 16--Mano, the Elderado.

The charges of attempted bribery made
by Mr.. Donnelly did not frighten any of the
members into leaving the state, and they
were in their seats with accustomed regu-
larity, wearing smiles of confidence and in
nocence. AS soon as the roll had been
called Mr.. Donnelly announced that two
members-Beatty and Quigley-had voted
against House File No. 23S on the previous
day under mlsapprehension, and desired
to be recorded as voting for the bill. The
change was made as desired Mr.. Ryan
also changed his vote to aye on the question
OF adjournment, when the same matter was
under consideration. Mr.. Donnelly then
sent to the clerks desk and had read the
following resolution:
Inc speaker is hereby directed to appoint
select committee of five members of the
house to inquire and report to this house
whether any attempt has been made to cor
ruptiy influence the members of this house in
reference to the passage of House File 23S.
The committee shall have power to issue
suppRnas and send for persons and papers,
and TO employ stenographer to report the
testimony taken before it, and to sit during
the sessions of the house. The chairman of
the committee shall have power to admin
1Ster oathS to witnesses called before the
committee. Inc committee shall have power
to report AT any time.
MI. Potter wanted to amend so as have
the committee investigate on any other bill,
but 1t was voted down. the sentiment of the
members being in favor of limiting the in
yestigation to Bill No. 23S.
Mr.. Knox wanted a stipulation incorpor-
aIed that would compel the committee to
make report at once. Mr.. Donneliy said
he supposedly the usual practice was fol-
lowed-that he would be the chairman of
the committee. He was certain that re-
port could be brought in by Friday or
Saturday at the latest.
The committee has not yet been an
nounced by the speaker.

MORRISON ns n nodaer

For some reason, which was not apparent,
Mr.. Morrison-who was in the chair-did not
vote on the Minneapolis patrol limits bill on
Wednesday. After the vote had been an
nounced it was suggested that Mr.. Morrison
record his vote, but no notice was taken of it.
1t was developed that Mr.. Morrison took ad-
vantage of being temporarily in the chair TO
claim that he was excused from voting under
the rule that the speaker did not have
to vote on any question, except in case
Of a tie. He instructed Clerk Carpenter
who called the roll-to that effect. There is
ground for the suspicion that Mr.. Morrison
is dodging on the liquor question. The
records show that he was absent, and did not
vote on the passage of the high license bill.
Members thoroughly familiar with parlia-
mentary practice assert that Mr.. Morrison
was not excused from voting under the rule

You see, it takes six weeks to get a letter
